Sharebuilder DRIP Purchases- KMI, PM, CAT

Reporting my weekly buys that went through today.

Market was down 133 points to close at 15,168.

This weeks purchases:
  • $250 of KMI at $35.33. Yield 4.53%.
  • $200 of PM at $85.99. Yield 4.37%.
  • $200 of CAT at $86.53. Yield 2.77%.
$650 of new capital invested adding $25.61 to my annual dividend income.


Note: Thursday is d-day for the debt ceiling. We could see major sell off if a deal is not made.
My guess is a last minute deal will be made but it will just kick the can down the road a little longer.

Sharebuilder DRIP Purchases- PM, KMR, RDS.A

Reporting my weekly buys that went through on Tuesday.  We are in the middle of a mild sell off this month and the market closed at 14,776.
  • $250 of PM at $84.00. Yield 4.05%.
  • $200 of KMR at $80.12. Yield 6.59%.
  • $200 of  RDS.A at $65.02. Yield  5.54%
Goal before then end of the year is to have both PM and Shell pay me $1200 in dividends in 2014. I believe both are attractively valued now and will continue to add.  If Altria is any example, I am expecting a nice dividend increase from PM next month.  Right now, I am a little below $1000 annual  forward dividend income with Shell so adding another $200 in dividend income won't be too hard.

$650 of new capital invested adding $34.37 to my annual dividend income.
